remove barriers to 
Commercial space.
The company was made in 2006 by Peter Beck.
To Lunch a rocket it cost 4.9 million.
It used to be 4.9 billion to lunch a rocket.
The bored of Directors is Peter Beck, Sven Strohband, David Cowan, Scott Smith and Matt Ocko. The Atea 1 lunched at 2.30 pm on the 30th of November 2009 at Great Mercury island.

The height of the Electron is 17 Metres.
The max payload weight is 225 kg.
Electron’s payload fairing is designed to decouple payload integration from the main assembly.

The all–carbon composite payload fairing is designed and manufactured in-house at Rocket Lab.

It opens up significantly more orbital options, particularly for rideshare customers that have traditionally been limited to the primary payload’s designated orbit. Powered by Rocket Lab's 3D printed liquid propellant Curie engine capable of 120N of thrust and multiple burns.

Electron's second stage is powered by a variant of the Rutherford Engine providing improved performance in vacuum conditions.

Electron makes use of advanced carbon composite materials for a strong and lightweight flight structure.

Through an extensive research program, Rocket Lab has developed carbon composite tanks that are compatible with liquid oxygen, providing impressive weight savings.
